Premature Vertebral Mineralization in hmx1-Mutant Zebrafish

Daniel Francis Schorderet

H6 family homeobox 1 (HMX1) regulates multiple aspects of craniofacial development, and mutations in HMX1 are linked to an ocular defect termed oculoauricular syndrome of Schorderet-Munier-Franceschetti (OAS) (MIM #612109). Recently, additional altered oro ...

Smart Hydrogels for the Augmentation of Bone Regeneration by Endogenous Mesenchymal Progenitor Cell Recruitment

Matthias Lütolf, Olaia Maria Naveiras Torres-Quiroga, Aline Roch, Philipp Sebastian Lienemann, Stéphanie Elisabeth Metzger, Queralt Vallmajó Martín

The treatment of bone defects with recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) requires high doses precluding broad clinical application. Here, a bioengineering approach is presented that strongly improves low-dose BMP-2-based bone regeneration by mob ...

LTP of inhibition at PV interneuron output synapses requires developmental BMP signaling

Ralf Schneggenburger, Denys Osypenko, Christopher Clark, Evan Dean Vickers

Parvalbumin (PV)-expressing interneurons (PV-INs) mediate well-timed inhibition of cortical principal neurons, and plasticity of these interneurons is involved in map remodeling of primary sensory cortices during critical periods of development. To assess ...

Surface and bulk stresses drive morphological changes in fibrous microtissues

Mahmut Selman Sakar, Erik Mailand, Nikolaos Bouklas

Engineered fibrous tissues consisting of cells encapsulated within collagen gels are widely used three-dimensional (3D) in vitro models of morphogenesis and wound healing. While cell-mediated matrix remodeling that occurs within these scaffolds has been ex ...

Bioengineering human bone marrow models to elucidate the triggers of the stem cell niche

Queralt Vallmajó Martín

The bone marrow (BM) microenvironment, or niche, significantly affects behaviors of its resident stem cell populations. Disruptions in the BM niche contribute to a number of severe clinical pathologies. Discovery of novel therapeutic strategies for BM-rela ...

Cytosolic delivery and characterization of monobodies interfering with SH2 domain-phosphotyrosine interactions

Nadine Eliane Schmit

Targeted cancer therapy is a very promising concept; however, small molecule inhibitors only exist for a limited number of oncoproteins and resistance development limits their clinical use. Different engineered non-antibody scaffolds are being explored to ...

Engineering growth factors for regenerative medicine applications

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez

Growth factors are important morphogenetic proteins that instruct cell behavior and guide tissue repair and renewal. Although their therapeutic potential holds great promise in regenerative medicine applications, translation of growth factors into clinical ...

Genetic dissection of the role of BMP signaling for the development of the auditory brainstem nuclei and the large calyx of Held synapse

Elin Kristina Kronander

Synapses are key elements for communication within the complex network of neurons that make up our brain. Interestingly, synaptic connections can differ greatly in form and function, depending on the specific circuit into which they are embedded. In this P ...

Growth Factors Engineered for Super-Affinity to the Extracellular Matrix Enhance Tissue Healing

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez, Esra Güç, Stéphanie Elisabeth Metzger

Growth factors (GFs) are critical in tissue repair, but their translation to clinical use has been modest. Physiologically, GF interactions with extracellular matrix (ECM) components facilitate localized and spatially regulated signaling; therefore, we rea ...

Bioluminescent and micro-computed tomography imaging of bone repair induced by fibrin-binding growth factors

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

In this work we have evaluated the capacity of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and fibrin-binding platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) to support cell growth and induce bone regeneration using two different imaging technologies to improve the u ...

Improving the osteogenic potential of BMP-2 with hyaluronic acid hydrogel modified with integrin-specific fibronectin fragment

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

While human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) is a promising growth factor for bone regeneration, its clinical efficacy has recently shown to be below expectation. In order to improve the clinical translation of rhBMP-2, there exists strong motivation ...

Partial promoter substitutions generating transcriptional sentinels of diverse signaling pathways in embryonic stem cells and mice

Anne Grapin-Botton

Extracellular signals in development, physiology, homeostasis and disease often act by regulating transcription. Herein we describe a general method and specific resources for determining where and when such signaling occurs in live animals and for systema ...

Engineering the growth factor microenvironment with fibronectin domains to promote wound and bone tissue healing

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

Although growth factors naturally exert their morphogenetic influences within the context of the extracellular matrix microenvironment, the interactions among growth factors, their receptors, and other extracellular matrix components are typically ignored ...

A self-regulatory system of interlinked signaling feedback loops controls mouse limb patterning

Felix Naef, Mirko Bischofberger

Embryogenesis depends on self-regulatory interactions between spatially separated signaling centers, but few of these are well understood. Limb development is regulated by epithelial-mesenchymal (e-m) feedback loops between sonic hedgehog (SHH) and fibrobl ...

Cripto promotes A-P axis specification independently of its stimulatory effect on Nodal autoinduction

Daniel Constam

The EGF-CFC gene cripto governs anterior-posterior (A-P) axis specification in the vertebrate embryo. Existing models suggest that Cripto facilitates binding of Nodal to an ActRII-activin-like kinase (ALK) 4 receptor complex. Cripto also has a crucial func ...

Self-renewal and cancer of the gut: two sides of a coin

Freddy Radtke

The intestinal epithelium follows the paradigms of stem cell biology established for other self-renewing tissues. With a unique topology, it constitutes a two-dimensional structure folded into valleys and hills: the proliferative crypts and the differentia ...
